He swore after the manner of his faith." (Obtained from Dictionary.com). Try plugging that meaning in and I think it will make more sense.After all... Christian apologists will try find a way to completely and utterly jump out of the opposition by debasing their own texts or by using ridiculous refutations... :insert exasperated emoticon here:
You do realize that if I am creating something in the pursuit that it will look like previous archetypes: I am designing them to model the previous ones, with my own twist, at a date that occurred AFTER the ones I'm basing my designs off of!

If you do not want to discuss anything, that is fine, but so far you have only brought conclusions based on your own presuppositions.I think I linked facts in another thread? My stance is almost a carbon copy of what you read on those links. If you have a disagreement with those observations: please do bring them forward.
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
